I use a mix of windex and soap and spray the plants, hang up those fly tapes and let the few remaining gnats down there pollinate the blooming plants, so I get seeds all winter. I already do the sand on top and water from the bottom, and use mosquitoe dunks in all my watering cans, and crumble it up in the NEW potting soil. I have had a problem with some bags of potting soil already being full of bugs, so I only buy it if it is dry.

My daughter found a really cool salad spinner with a lid, and I use it to shake of the chaff and leave the seeds or vice versa.. but I spend my nights with two trays and a white paper plate separating seeds from pods, since I act like I am watching the latest football or baseball game while doing so..
I have a few water bottles sitting around the plants with a couple spoons of dark sweet wine in there, I see bugs in them floating all the time..
